Issue #551 is causing problems

[XeAtari]

While it is true that ejecting a disc does not take a drive offline this new behaviour is causing problems.

All ejected drives now reply to a drive status command which makes FujiNet occupy up to all drives on the serial bus.

So we can no longer for example copy a real disk using a real drive to an ATR on the FujiNet because we have more than one drive with the same drive ID active on the bus.

Beyond this all software that relies on the old behaviour (drives going offline) will eventually have to be rewritten.

I guess it would be more compatible if the $E9 command (unmount drive image) would work like before and only if maybe AUX2 MSB is set the drive does not go offline. So we have both: compatibility with exisiting software and the means to unmount an image without having the drive go offline. Plus of course we can again use other drives to copy data from.

Hi, it would be great if there was an option to get an unmounted drive go offline again. See my suggestion on original post.

Hi @tschak909, I am not sure if the "offline flag" function already is in the firmware dated 2023-03-18.
If it is I'ld like to let you know that the drive still does not go offline (it still answers the Atar status command).
In addition the slot stays populated in web UI while I guess it should display "(Empty)".
